Can't believe it's been ten years since this came out! I got the soundtrack album right after seeing the movie and still like it.

I have this in a book of Philip Glass solo piano pieces but it's called Metamorphosis Two. I wish I could play it as well as Branka Parlic.

Much ominosity in this one.  (Very ominous.)  Bleak with tones of imminent disastrous occurrences.

I believe you mean "repetitive" - the two words are not synonymous (yet).  There are a great many things more depressing than Philip Glass and The Hours.

This doesn't do anything for me, but maybe I shouldn't comment on Philip Glass because none of it does anything for me.

"Death was an attempt to communicate; people feeling the impossibility of reaching the centre which, mystically, evaded them; closeness drew apart; rapture faded, one was alone. There was an embrace in death."  from Mrs. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf.

The movie, "Glass in 12 parts"  is fantastic.  A MUST see.

Even if you're not a huge fan, you can't deny that the man is a genius.  Amazing.

Every time Glass scores a new movie, it's fantastic. The score was Koyaanisqatsi was groundbreaking and that was 1982! Sure, a lot of his stuff is repetitive but it's damn unique and impressive nonetheless.

The score from Phillip Glass is as great as it is depressing. Gives the film a lot of its
emotional deepness.
 I agree — the score really added to the intensity of the film, and both stayed with me for quite some time.

Anyone see the PBS documentary on Glass on American Masters?  Interesting piece about a really one-of-a-kind guy. There's a part where his young wife is talking about the obviously difficult marriage (Glass is obsessed with work).  I can't remember right now what was playing but this piece would definitely  be appropriate.  A good bit of TV if you get a chance.  In more than a few ways Glass' life kinda parallels Frank Lloyd Wright.

If I may recommend another movie that pivots beautifully around a Glass soundtrack ... the film Mishima.

I assume you are talking about the movie The Hours. This song was originally from Errol Morris' The Thin Blue Line. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.

Watching it now, 20 years later, it's amazing how the "Hard Copy" style news programs that came after it have changed the way North American "news" organizations work. When the movie came out, the re-enactments, music etc seemed revolutionary. Now, it is standard fair.

I'm not sure if we should thank Errol Morris or curse him. He definitely had a major influence.

I will always remember listening to the ominous sounds of "Koyaanisquatsi" over and over again as Hurricane Frances was bearing down on the Florida coast and I was making the preperations to secure and evacuate from a house that I though I might not see again. A perfect emotional fit somehow.....
